AI shouldn't be stifled, but unchecked use will be 'foolish': Sunil Mittal

Calling for AI regulation to be thought through now, Bharti Airtel Chairman Sunil Mittal on Wednesday said the technology or its growth need not be stifled, but waiting for an "accident" before acting would be "foolish." Speaking at the Bloomberg New Economy Forum 2026, Mittal noted that governments and policymakers are struggling to keep pace with the speed of artificial intelligence and asserted that regulations need to be thought through now, before something goes wrong. Mittal said India is putting out a consultation paper on regulations, and guardrails around AI. He cited growing concern voiced by prominent global tech founders and instances of AI agents behaving unpredictably or running "rogue," and said: "it is not something that, we can take lightly." "So suddenly, you're seeing a scrambling around the government corridors, policymakers to say, how we can secure our nation when we introduce AI in every aspect of our lives," Mittal said. With people already using artificial

Global turbulence to rise in coming years from AI, debt risks: Vaishnaw

Warning of heightened global turbulence in the coming years from tech disruptions, artificial intelligence and financial risks, Union Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw on Wednesday said India is strengthening its economic and technological resilience to shield its growth from external shocks. Speaking at the Bloomberg New Economy Forum 2026, Vaishnaw -- who is Minister for Electronics and IT, Information and Broadcasting and Railways -- said global technology supply chains would continue to span multiple countries and geographies, but companies and governments would need to repeatedly evaluate their partners and ensure that dependence on a particular country or company did not compromise resilience. Technology will remain a highly globalised field, he emphasised, adding that global value chains will be multi-border, multi-country, and multi-geography, reflecting the nature of the industry itself. "... Strategic dependencies, which are the countries you can trust, which are the places where
